World Drowning Prevention Day is this weekend! Remember, babies and young children can drown in just inches of water.

Drowning can happen in 20–30 seconds, even during supervised play. Staying within arm’s reach matters.

Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, even when adults are nearby.

As we approach World Drowning Prevention Day on July 25, VDSS is reminding families, caregivers and communities that water safety is child safety.
